All of the arguments are specified as XML elements in XML file format. You must therefore follow the standard XML format when you edit them. It is the user's responsibility to create well-formed XML.

The standard XML format includes the following rules:

  • You must have opening and closing tags for all elements.
  • Example:<FOR_FILES>OUTPUT</FOR_FILES> 
  • XML tags are case sensitive. The tag <Entry_ID> is different from the tag <ENTRY_ID>. Opening and closing tags must therefore be written with the same case.
  • All elements must be properly nested within each other.
  • Example: <ENTRY> <ENTRY_ID>1</ENTRY_ID></ENTRY>
  • The attribute value must always be quoted.
  • Example: <SCAN_VALUE>"BOSTON"</SCAN_VALUE>
  • Character entity references. Some characters have a special meaning in XML. If you use a character such as "<" inside an XML element, it will generate an error because it is interpreted as the start of a new element. To avoid the error, replace the "<" character with a character entity reference:
  • Bad example: IF US_GOUT_HOUSE_NUMBER < 100
  • Good example: IF US_GOUT_HOUSE_NUMBER &lt; 100
  • There are 5 predefined entity references in XML:
&lt; < less than
&gt; > greater than
&amp; & ampersand 
&apos; ' apostrophe
&quot; " quotation mark
Note: Only the characters "<" and "&" are strictly illegal in XML. Other characters are generally accepted.
